Crazy Britain:They’re All Raising Me

The matter of Fairy Knight Lancelot trespassing into the Camelot Palace, after everyone who knew about it was silenced, naturally didn't spread a word.

Therefore, no matter what, Guiniwell and the others were completely unaware of the situation.

But that was a matter for later. At the present moment, everyone was immersed in the joy of drawing cards after the simulation results.

— Of course, it could also be sadness.

For instance, Guiniwell right now was looking at the skill he had just drawn with an impulse to throw himself headfirst into the wall:

[Skill: Chinese Martial Arts (Six Harmonies Spear) (False): A]

[The Ultimate Principle of China]

[This martial art aims for the unity of heaven and man, reaching a certain level of mastery. It's one of the hardest skills to acquire. Unlike other skills, you can only call it "learned" once it reaches A-rank.]

[However, due to your shortcut method of learning, you have not experienced the gradual process of training nor the profound understanding of nature and the universe. Moreover, without a proper master, you only relied on exaggerated talent to forcefully acquire this skill. As a result, your spear techniques, based on this, are still far from the true Six Harmonies Spear.]

[Even so, since you've initially learned the Six Harmonies Spear, you still gain the benefits of this skill.]

[When your weapon is a spear, your attack power will greatly increase, and you will gain the "Perfect Hit" status.]

[Additionally, due to some mysterious luck-related influence, your luck will decrease after acquiring this skill. The degree of this decline will increase as the skill level increases. Currently, your luck has decreased by one level.]

[Your luck has dropped by one level, now at C rank.]

[If your skill, Chinese Martial Arts (Six Harmonies Spear) (False), upgrades to A+ rank or removes the "False" label, your luck will further decrease.]

Dammit! Why did I have to draw this cursed skill?!

My luck has already dropped a level due to the "Bloody Handed Massacre" effect, and now I don't have that A-rank power anymore! How can my luck keep dropping!?

I don't want to become a C-ranked luckless spearman!

You've reduced my luck, how am I going to continue drawing cards in the future? I haven't even finished drawing all my rewards from this simulation yet!

Guiniwell groaned inwardly, even feeling like rolling on the ground in despair.

To be honest, after this simulation, the rewards he got were pretty generous.

First, there was a fixed reward from the legendary rating and the subsequent upgrade of the Heroic Spirit Hall:

[Due to your excellent performance in this simulation, you have earned a reward draw. Since your simulation rating reached legendary level, the probability of drawing high-level rewards has increased, and the chance of drawing rewards related to your simulation performance has also been raised.]

Then, there were the Saint Crystals accumulated from previous draws:

[For each legendary event completed, you will gain 5 Saint Crystals. Thanks to Queen Nocknare's tireless promotion, you have achieved 6 legendary events, gaining 30 Saint Crystals in total.]

[After each simulation, if your achievements are too low, preventing you from earning a draw opportunity, you will still get 3 Saint Crystals as a base reward.]

[During the previous four simulations where you gained no achievements, you received a base reward of 12 Saint Crystals.]

With that, plus the 8 Saint Crystals left over from the last simulation, Guiniwell had accumulated a total of 50 Saint Crystals, enough to exchange for 7 Saint Crystals, which was enough for two single draws.

On top of that, he had another special draw opportunity:

[Since you managed to maintain the "Fighting Spirit" effect until the simulation's end, and reached 100 accumulated victories, raising "Fighting Spirit" to "Full Throttle" and then to "Invincible," you have earned an extra special draw opportunity.]

[Special draw opportunities are earned when your victory count surpasses 1, 10, and 100. You have received three special draw opportunities.]

[These special draws will only give you the special skills you earned through "Fighting Spirit/Full Throttle/Invincible" during this simulation, and will not repeat.]

With all these accumulated rewards, Guiniwell had a total of 6 draws to make! 6!

This was a huge amount he had never dared to dream of before. After playing for so long, the most he'd ever gotten was 5 or 6 draws, but now he had a chance for this many! How could he not be ecstatic?

Filled with dreams of enhancing his pulls and taking off, Guiniwell immediately started drawing, planning to use the special draws first, starting from the highest chance... but he ended up drawing the "Six Harmonies Spear" skill, which lowered his luck to C rank.

Dammit!

Not this! Why do I have to lower my luck now? I should at least wait ten years, after I've become invincible through my leopard leap draws! Why now?!

His teeth clenched in frustration.

Dammit, system! Is there any way we can negotiate? I'll pretend this pull never happened! Just take this damn spearman skill back!

But of course, Guiniwell's pleas for mercy went unheard.

After slowly accepting his fate of being exiled from Europe to Africa, Guiniwell bitterly began his subsequent draws.

Then, with a slightly self-destructive look in his eyes, the summoning circle began to glow.

— But it was silver.

As he watched the silver card back slowly flip, Guiniwell covered his eyes in pain:

[Shield Mastery: C]

[Although this is not a mainstream weapon choice, through your unrelenting practice, the shield in your hands has become a powerful and underrated weapon. You can guarantee the next four attacks after throwing the shield will be accurate, or make it hit three targets before bouncing back to you.]

[You can throw the shield in a parabolic arc and hit a location you selected a few seconds later.]

[Additionally, due to your increasing skill, you can now choose the technique used for your flying shield depending on the enemy type before throwing it:]

[Power Strike: A heavy hit that increases damage but cannot bounce between multiple targets.]

[Quick Strike: A swift attack that increases speed and surprises enemies.]

[Skill Strike: A tricky strike with an unpredictable trajectory.]

What the hell? Didn't I upgrade this flying shield skill to B-rank? Why is there a C-rank flying shield skill showing up here?

Did you include all the past upgraded skills in the pool, not just the final form?

Guiniwell felt despair creeping in.

What if my next pull is a D-rank flying shield?

That would be the end. Right now, Artoria hasn't even made my precious Treasure Shield; what am I going to do with a C-rank flying shield mastery?

Full of sadness and hopelessness, Guiniwell pressed the "Try Again" button.

Then, golden light shone before his eyes.

Hmm? Hmm-hmm?

Watching the sudden golden light flare up, Guiniwell's eyes went wide.

When that glittering golden card back appeared before him, Guiniwell nearly jumped up in joy.

Wuhu! Time to soar!

So luck levels are all nonsense! I was an Emperor of Europe before, and I'll be an eternal Emperor of Europe! The luck debuff is just that, a debuff! As long as I can still draw good stuff, I'll always be the great Emperor of Leopard Leaps!

But as he thought this in joy, when the golden card back flipped over, his expression froze:

[Skill: Return of Life · A]

[Your will is so strong that it distorts reality itself. Even death cannot stop your actions if there is a necessary reason to fight.]

[Even after suffering a fatal wound, you can continue to act for three days. During this time, no injuries will affect your combat abilities, and you can continue fighting in your best condition. However, the "Return of Life" state cannot be removed by self-healing. After the state ends, you will die. If you suffer another fatal injury during this period, you will die immediately.]

[During this state, you will trigger all effects that are activated under conditions such as "near death" or "below a certain health threshold." Skills like "Heaven's Fire" that lower your own health will not prevent you from continuing the fight.]

What the hell! What good is this skill?

Guiniwell nearly swore out loud.

He admitted that this skill, "Return of Life," had been helpful in the final stages of the simulation... without it, he wouldn't have been able to drag Fairy Lancelot down with him to die...

— But normally, who would want this skill in the real world?!

This skill is just for forcing survival, and compared to typical survival skills in the Type-Moon universe... even though full recovery + three days of ultra-long duration does sound powerful, Guiniwell felt it wasn't as good as the usual combat revival skills.

With combat revival, you can heal up after taking a hit. But with "Return of Life," if you're hit again, you're done for!

The three-day limit hangs over your head like the sword of Damocles, and when time runs out, you die naturally. This skill is useless! Am I supposed to use it to charge in like a zombie in a tower defense game?!

Guiniwell was numb.

But then he realized this wasn't the Summoner's Rift, where death means respawning at a fountain. His life was one and precious—who in their right mind would think of using zombies to trade resources?

Honestly, wouldn't it be better to upgrade my flying shield mastery one more time?

And there are great skills in this pool too, right? Like "Supreme Technique · My Style · Wind Chaser"? How about "Brave in Desperation"? Come on, give me something good!

Guiniwell thought to himself, getting red in the face with frustration.

—I refuse to believe this. I refuse to believe I can't pull something good after six whole draws.

With that, he quickly exited the special draw interface and switched to the Saint Crystal pool.

[Do you wish to consume 21 Saint Crystals to exchange for 3 Saint Stones and perform a draw?]

"Yes!"

He pressed the "Confirm" button without hesitation, his eyes bloodshot.

He refused to believe he wouldn't get something good today!
